Great trip report, Bob. 90F -- wheew! No wonder those raccoons were thirsty! Crazy Creek chair is my fave. Forgot mine on a trip and I really missed it. The roll-up table that Campmor and others sell is bulky and heavy, but worth it in the sand, esp if the group is 4 or more in number. Straps on the deck. Also keeps the scorpions and sand fleas out of the pasta. Re: organizing the eating equip: I fit my Peak 1, both pots, a cutting board (circular shape), a lid, flatware, cups, bowl, pot holder, lighters, knives into a nylon stuffsack. Everything nests inside the largest pot. The wok packs separately. A mesh bag (for laundering unmentionables) works for organizing other food prep stuff, and veggies. It hailed/rained on me yesterday on the Columbia River -- 90 F would have been nice! -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Apr 05 1999 - 16:44:08 PDT
